Crash Boat Beach, Beach in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico
Crash Boat Beach is a beach in Aguadilla with a long cement pier extending into turquoise water where fish gather near snorkelers and divers. The shallow areas near shore gradually give way to deeper water accessible from the pier.
The beach got its name during World War II when the United States military used the pier for rescue operations. The location served an important role in coastal defense during wartime.
Local vendors along the waterfront prepare traditional Puerto Rican food such as mofongo and serve cold coconuts with grilled seafood to visitors.
The area offers free beach access with paid parking, freshwater showers, and restroom facilities spread along the shoreline. Multiple food and drink vendors make it easy to find refreshments during your visit.
Visitors can jump directly from the cement pier into deep clear water to swim among schools of tropical fish. This direct entry point makes the swimming experience different from typical beach swimming.
